Description

Work processing method

The present invention relates to a work processing method.

In the machining of blade parts such as turbine blades used in jet engines, cutting machines such as 5-axis machining centers with rotating shafts are used. Generally, the blade component has a thin plate shape, and the blade surface has at least one of a convex curved surface and a concave curved surface.

In the machining of blade parts with a cutting machine, rough machining with a milling cutter, intermediate finishing with a radius end mill, and finishing with a ball end mill are mainly adopted. For a thin and low-rigidity shape of a wing component, a highly efficient removal process is adopted in which a taper ball end mill, a ball end mill, or the like is used to cut out the work (base material) at once. In the removal machining, the tool axis is set on the outer circumference with respect to the machining shape in the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis direction of the blade component, and the machining is performed while moving the tool relatively around the longitudinal axis direction of the blade component. .. Generally, the machining program in such removal machining is created by targeting the solid body of the blade component and using the surface surface of the solid body.

Generally, in a machine tool, a tool and a work are provided so as to be relatively linearly movable along two linear movement axes in the XY directions orthogonal to each other. For example, in the case of the machine tool 100 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the X-axis table 102 that linearly moves in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis that linearly moves in the Y-axis direction that is orthogonal to the X-axis direction are placed on the base 101. A table 103 is provided. On the X-axis table 102, a rotary table 104 having a rotary shaft 105 for rotating the held work W around the C-axis is provided. The rotary table 104 tilts the rotary shaft 105 itself by rotating the rotary shaft 105 that holds the work W around the A axis. The A axis is set parallel to the Y axis direction. Further, a column 106 is erected on the upper surface of the base 101. A spindle unit 107 that can move up and down in the Z-axis direction is provided at the upper end of the column 106. A tool T is attached to the lower end of the spindle unit 107. As such a machine tool, for example, the one described in Patent Document 1 is known.

In the machining of a wing component by a cutting machine, when the curved surface is removed along a direction having a curvature, the work W is rotated around the longitudinal axis (C axis) of the wing component by the rotation axis 105 while rotating the work W. The tool T and the work W are relatively linearly moved in the direction having curvature along one of the two linear movement axes in the XY directions orthogonal to each other. The direction having curvature is the direction along the curved direction on the curved surface. Generally, in the case of a blade component, the direction having curvature is the width direction of the blade surface.

However, when a curved surface is machined on the work W by the removal processing as described above, vibration during acceleration / deceleration when the work W is linearly moved may affect the quality of the machined surface of the curved surface. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the curved surface is removed along the direction having a curvature with respect to the work W, the work W is rotated around the C axis by the rotation axis 105 with respect to the tool T. It is necessary to move it linearly in the Y direction. At this time, the Y-axis table 103 moves all of the X-axis table 102, the rotary table 104, and the rotary shaft 105. Therefore, the moment of inertia (inertia) of the Y-axis table 103 is large, and the load of the Y-axis motor (not shown) for driving the Y-axis table 103 is large. As a result, in the machining operation of the work W, vibration is likely to occur due to acceleration / deceleration when the Y-axis table 103 is linearly moved. Therefore, when removing a curved surface from a work, it may be necessary to reduce the processing speed so that vibration does not affect the machined surface quality of the curved surface.

Therefore, when removing a curved surface from a work, it is desired to improve the quality of the machined surface of the curved surface without slowing down the processing speed.

In the work processing method according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the rotary table on which the work is mounted and the tool are relatively moved along two linear movement axes orthogonal to each other, and the workpieces are orthogonal to each other by the rotary table. A work processing method for removing at least one of a convex curved surface and a concave curved surface with respect to the work by rotating the work around the first swivel axis and the second swivel axis, respectively. Of the linear movement axes, the first swivel axis is arranged parallel to the first linear movement axis, which has a relatively small motor load during linear movement, and is perpendicular to the first linear movement axis. The second swivel axis is arranged on a plane, and the work is moved along the first linear movement axis and around the second swivel axis while the curved surface is moved along a direction having a curvature. And remove it.

According to one aspect, when the curved surface is removed from the work, the quality of the machined surface of the curved surface can be improved without slowing down the processing speed.

It is sectional drawing which shows the relationship between the blade surface and the tip of a tool at the time of removing a blade component from a work. It is a perspective view which shows the relationship between the blade surface and the tip of a tool at the time of removing a blade part from a work. It is a perspective view which shows one Embodiment of the machine tool used in the work processing method which concerns on one aspect of this disclosure. FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the blade surface of a blade component is removed and processed by the machine tool shown in FIG. It is a perspective view which shows an example of the machine tool used in the conventional work processing method. FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the blade surface of a blade component is removed and processed by the machine tool shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, one aspect of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a wing component that has been removed from the work. The wing component 1 is formed by removing an unnecessary portion from a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped work W with a machine tool tool (not shown in FIG. 1). The blade component 1 has a blade surface 11 made of a curved surface on at least one of its front surface and back surface. In the blade component 1 shown in FIG. 1, one blade surface 11 of the front surface and the back surface is a convex curved surface 11a, and the other blade surface 11 is a concave curved surface 11b. Such a blade component 1 is, for example, a turbine blade, a compressor blade, or the like.

2 and 3 show the positional relationship between the blade surface 11 and the tip of the tool T when the blade component 1 is removed from the work W. As shown in FIG. 2, the tool T of the machine tool is located on the outer circumference with respect to the machining shape shown in the cross section perpendicular to the direction of the longitudinal axis 12 of the blade component 1 (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 2).

When the blade surface 11 is removed by the tool T, the work is formed so that the processing locus 13 shown in FIG. 3 follows the direction having the curvature of the blade surface 11 (the outer peripheral direction in the processing shape shown in the cross section of FIG. 2). The work W is rotated around the longitudinal axis 12 while linearly moving W along one direction (D1 direction). Further, the blade component 1 is removed from the work W by linearly moving the work W in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12 (D2 direction) by a predetermined distance so that the tool T sequentially moves to the adjacent machining locus 13. Will be done. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the linear movement axes when the work W is linearly moved along the direction having the curvature of the blade surface 11 (D1 direction) are the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction orthogonal to each other. Of the two linear movement axes, the axis with a relatively small motor load (hereinafter referred to as the first linear movement axis) is set.

Next, a specific work processing method for removing the blade component 1 from the work W using the machine tool 2 as the cutting machine shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be further described. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a machine tool used in the work processing method according to one aspect of the present disclosure. FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the blade surface of the blade component is removed and processed by the machine tool shown in FIG.

The machine tool 2 includes an X-axis table 22 that linearly moves in the X-axis direction and a Y-axis table 23 that linearly moves in the Y-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction on a base 21 installed on the floor surface. ing. The X-axis table 22 is provided so as to be linearly movable in the X-axis direction by driving the X-axis motor 22a. The Y-axis table 23 is provided so as to be linearly movable in the Y-axis direction by driving the Y-axis motor 23a.

A rotary table 24 is placed on the upper surface of the X-axis table 22. The rotary table 24 rotatably supports the rotary shaft 25. The rotating shaft 25 holds the work W and rotates the held work W around the C axis (second swivel shaft). The work W is attached to the rotating shaft 25 so that the direction of the longitudinal axis 12 (D2 direction) of the blade component 1 to be machined is parallel to the direction of the C axis.

The rotary table 24 rotates (tilts) the rotary shaft 25 itself around the A shaft (first swivel shaft) by driving the A-axis motor 24a. The A-axis of the rotary table 24 is arranged parallel to the X-axis direction. The C-axis of the rotating shaft 25 is arranged on a plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction. Therefore, the A-axis of the rotary table 24 constitutes an inclined axis that inclines the C-axis of the rotary shaft 25 along a plane perpendicular to the A-axis.

A column 26 is erected on the upper surface of the base 21. At the upper end of the column 26, a spindle unit 27 that can move up and down along the Z-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is provided by driving the Z-axis motor 27a. A tool T is attached to the lower end of the spindle unit 27.

In this machine tool 2, the direction of the A-axis, which is the first turning axis, is arranged parallel to the X-axis direction of the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction which are orthogonal to each other. Since the X-axis table 22 only needs to move the rotary table 24 and the rotary shaft 25 when linearly moving in the X-axis direction, the moment of inertia (inertia) is relatively smaller than that of the Y-axis table 23. Therefore, the load of the X-axis motor 22a that drives the X-axis table 22 is smaller than the load of the Y-axis motor 23a that drives the Y-axis table 23. Therefore, in the machine tool 2, the X-axis of the X-axis and the Y-axis that are orthogonal to each other constitutes the first linear moving axis having a relatively small motor load.

In the machine tool 2, when the blade surface 11 of the blade component 1 is removed from the work W, the work W is rotated around the C axis, which is the second turning axis, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. However, the tool T and the work W are relatively linearly moved in the direction having curvature (D1 direction). The relative linear movement axis between the tool T and the work W at this time is set to the X axis. The X-axis is a linear movement axis of the X-axis table 22 having a relatively smaller moment of inertia (inertia) than the Y-axis table 23. Therefore, the vibration generated by acceleration / deceleration when the tool T and the work W are linearly moved in the direction having curvature (D1 direction) by the X-axis table 22 is the case where the Y-axis table 23 is linearly moved. Smaller than. As a result, the influence of vibration during linear movement on the quality of the machined surface of the curved surface is reduced. Therefore, according to this work processing method, it is possible to improve the processed surface quality of the curved surface of the blade component 1 without reducing the processing speed.

In the above embodiment, the X-axis table 22 of the machine tool 2 is placed on the Y-axis table 23, but the machine tool used in the work processing method of the present disclosure is limited to such a configuration. Instead, various configurations can be adopted for the X-axis and the Y-axis that linearly move the work W in the direction orthogonal to each other in the machine tool. For example, the X-axis table 22 may be placed on the base 21 and the column 26 may be configured to be linearly movable in the Y-axis direction on the base 21. Even in this case, the moment of inertia (inertia) of the X-axis table 22 that moves linearly in the X-axis direction is smaller than that of the column 26 that moves linearly in the Y-axis direction, and the motor load is smaller.
